Today is August 30, 2016. Travel back with me to this date in 1916. We’re in Asheville, North Carolina for an afternoon Class D League game between the Asheville Tourists and the Winston-Salem Twins. This is one that we don’t want to be late for, and we likely won’t get too comfortable at, because this nine-inning game between these two teams will be over in a mere 31 minutes, giving it the dubious title of the fastest professional game ever played.
